Pictures of Leather Package in Black and Bordeaux Red

[Jon A]

Ours has PASM too and it actually makes it more comfortable than her previous M240i which had adaptive suspension!
It’s a very underrated option for a Boxster I think. Ours has 18” wheels but they are black so don’t really stand out as small in real life - I offered to change them up for her but she flat out refused cos she wants best ride possible!!

Hi. I'm wondering whether anyone has any real-life pictures of the black and Bordeaux red leather package (rather than the black & red extended leather which has a lot more red) they can share?
A year ago I purchased an S in Gentian blue with black and pebble interior. When buying, due to the very high second hand values at the time, I also put down a speculative deposit on a new S. My OPC rang to say they now have a build slot in early May for June delivery. They have offered me the same price I paid for the car if I sell now, so if I save the PCP and insurance payments until delivery (covering the cost of the deposit) I will have a brand new car with no additional payment and PCP payments the same. It's hard to persuade myself not to go ahead!
As this will be a longer term keeper, I'm thinking of white with the red Bordeaux leather package as it will probably age better than the pebble, or at least save me time keeping the pebble clean and spruce (and whilst Gentian is a lovely colour, especially in the sun, it does really show the dust and dirt, especially after rain)! It would be good to see any real-world pictures before pulling the trigger!
Many thanks.

With a little colour editing, this is what Black/Bordeaux Red looks like in person. Hope this helps!

Thank Gammaray. However, I'm a little confused now! Yours are different to Bluesnose's, who has full red to the front of the seats, rather than just the seat inserts as red as in yours. When I look on the Confusicator it shows the Leather Package in black and Bordeaux red like Bluesnose's pictures. However, if you press the i for info I also noticed an arrow for a second picture of the option, and the second picture looks like yours (the first picture like Bluesnose's)! Very confusing! Does anyone know which of the 2 is correct / what you get with this option (leather package in black and Bordeaux red, rather than extended leather package in black and Bordeaux red)? What is also strange is sometimes when I look at the configurator producedcar, it shows it like Bluesnose's, and sometimes like Gammaray's!

So black/red combo is centre inserts with 8w seats and like Blues one with 14/18w seats.
You can get the insert look on the 14/18w but you would need to select black leather and then pay extra for coloured inserts…
Clear as mud!

any chance you could post a pic of your current car; gentian blue with pebble and black? as my order is in that colour combination and should arrive in 5/6 weeks… i’ve not been able to find one looking at the OPC centres i’ve passed.

it will be joining my 2014 (owned from new) Cayman S in white with full leather black interior

sounds like we have a similar choice in cars!

Thanks Jon. I'm glad you understand it as it had me scratching my head (and I've spent a lot of time over the years on the confusicator!) - it didn't seem to explain the importance of 8w versus 14 and 18w!
Now going back to the confusicator if you toggle between the 8w and 14w seats it changes from seat inserts to full seats in red - easy when you know how!.

Sorry, not sure how to add pictures - I thought it would be easy, but appears not!
However, there's a video on you-tube that shows it off quite well from very early release days - it's the one that sold me on the combination:


If you could explain how to upload photo's, I will give it a go?
